If it takes 10 hours for the pair to complete of the job, then it takes hours to complete the whole job, and therefore the pair working together can complete of the job in 1 hour. Let represent the time it takes Jeff to do the whole job. Then is the time it takes Mutt to do the whole job. Then Jeff can do of the job in one hour and Mutt can do of the job in one hour. Now we can say that:



Solve for . Once you have it reduced to a quadratic in standard form, it will not factor. Use the quadratic formula. One of the roots will be less than 6, so discard that answer -- Mutt can't paint the fence in negative time, can he?

Step 1: Learn to spell algebra correctly.

Step 2: Learn to read and follow instructions.

Step 3: Compare the example of a bad question given along with the instructions posted on this site and note the similarity to your question. Note the complete lack of similarity between your complete waste of our time and the example of a good question.

If AB congruent to BC, then angle C (the angle opposite AB) has to be congruent to angle A (the angle opposite BC). So both A and C measure 37 degrees. So B has to measure 180 - (37 + 37) since the sum of the angles of any triangle is 180 degrees.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!


If angle C measures 90 degrees, then angle C is a right angle by definition and triangle ABC is a right triangle by definition. AC and BC, since they have endpoints at the right angle vertex, must be the legs of the triangle. Use Pythagoras:



where and are the measures of BC and AC (doesn't matter which, it all comes out in the wash. Though by convention, the designations would be in the order given)

Or just note that this is a 3-4-5 right triangle and the measure of the hypotenuse has to be 10.

Finally, cut the whiney, "woe is me, I can't understand (whatever)" nonsense. It is an annoying waste of tutors' valuable time to wade through that bunch of BS just to get to your question. Spend your time more wisely by explaining what you have tried on your own to answer the question so that we have a better idea of what you actually need. And for pity's sake, do NOT write back and apologize -- I don't want to hear that either.

Multiply length times width times height:



So



Take the first derivative (Power and Sum Rules)



Set the first derivative equal to zero and solve. This is a quadratic so you will get two roots, each of which represents the abscissa of a local extremum of the original function.

Take the second derivative:



Evaluate



where is either of the abscissas of the possible extreme points. If then is the abscissa of a local maximum, if then is the abscissa of a local minimum. If , the second derivative test is inconclusive, but it is a possible inflection point. In the latter case, for this problem, calculate the volume for the value of in question and see if it makes sense as a possible value that could give a maximum volume.

Use the point-slope form of an equation of a line:



where are the coordinates of the given point and is the given slope. Then use normal algebraic procedures, i.e. adding equal quantities to both sides and multiplying both sides by equal quantities to arrange the equation into standard form. Note: some authors demand that the coefficients in an equation in standard form be integers, other authors have no such restriction on their definition. Check with your teacher/professor/instructor and text book as to the exact definition of Standard Form.

22 is 74% of ...

74% is almost 75%. 75% is 3/4. So if 22 is 3/4 of something, then 1/4 of that something is 1/3 of 22 which is roughly 7. 4 times 7 is 28, but since both of the estimates used were on the low side (74% is less than 3/4 and 7 is less than 1/3 of 22), add one. 29 is pretty close.

6 ft. The line from the top of Hal's head to a point Hal's height above the ground on the tree, the line from that point to the top of the tree, and the line from the top of the tree to Hal's head form a right triangle. The measure of one leg is 40 feet and the measure of the hypotenuse is 50 feet, so the measure of the other leg must be 30 feet (3-4-5 right triangle). The part of the tree from Hal's height up then measures 30 feet, but the tree is 36 feet tall, so Hal must be 36 minus 30 equals 6 feet tall.
